Employees born in the 80s the least dedicated

Chinanews, Nov. 7 - A survey report on the dedication index of Chinese
employees developed by China Human Resources Development Network
(ChinaHRD) indicates that compared with employees of other age brackets,
those born in the 1980s are the least dedicated to their work although
they are quite new in the career arena. The survey commenced on August 22
this year, concluded on September 14 and collected 3,400 valid
questionnaires.
ChinaHRD training and development department's director Bao Minggang was
in charge of this survey. He believes that low dedication index of the
1980s generation attributes to their personal characters. For instance,
they are more convinced than people of other age brackets that they have
no opportunities to do what they are most accomplished in; they want more
encouragement and acknowledgement at work but never feel they get
adequate positive feedbacks; they are quite new in the career arena but
are yearning for recognition by their leaders; once they think they do
not weigh, they suffer from tremendous sense of frustration; they are
more self-aware than being identified with the companies they work in and
their value and missions.
"Things are becoming worse every year. Besides incapability, some are
quite lazy and just turn a blind eye on work," grumbled a Mr. Zuo who is
in charge of recruitment of a company. He has much to complain about the
newly-recruited college graduates in the company. The low dedication
index of these new employees seems to attribute to personal factors;
however, social factors have an even greater bearing on this phenomenon.
As the overall employment environment intensifies, the 1980s generation
face more employment pressure and fewer choices, which will result in
blindness in their job hunting. As an interviewee said, when one is doing
something he does not like, dedication is too much to expect.
